OPES
Solar Mobility

Recognizing the immense potential and growing demand in the transportation sector, we founded OPES Solar Mobility to drive efficient solar-supported transportation solutions. Our solar module factory for the automotive industry in Zwenkau is a major milestone for us, driven by our commitment to making solar possible where it is needed.

The Vision
of clean transport

Solar energy accelerates the transition to electric mobility. Vehicle-integrated photovoltaics are the natural next step toward zero emissions. Solar mobility will provide energy on a gigawatt-scale this decade, which means millions of kilometres driven by solar power. That's a huge release for the grid and the charging infrastructure and of course for the environment.

    • Adaptable to specific industry norms
    company owned test equipment for solar mobility and integrated solar panels

    In-House
    Testing

    Panels for solar mobility must withstand certain requirements. However, there are hardly any standardized tests. Some tests also do not reflect conditions that can arise, for example, in relation to heat. Therefore, we test in-house with our equipment to guarantee the highest quality and durability.
    For pilot vehicles, we provide strong support in terms of expertise, design, test equipment and scenarios.

    Strength of
    crystalline cells

    The solar industry focuses mainly on monocrystalline solar cells. Solar mobility benefits from the progress and reliable value chain of this industry. We therefore process mainly crystalline cells and customize solar elements to meet the requirements of the automotive industry. The great benefit is that we participate on the continuous progress regarding efficiency as well as costs and have access to an established value chain to scale quickly.
